I have been suffering with pain in the area where the arrow is pointing at for almost 2 weeks, it's constant and won't go off with pain medication. I don't have any discharge so I don't think it's infected, it feels more inflamed and sore than anything else, but what is that fleshy ball exactly? Will it go away? Do I need my GP to remove it? Why is it there? Sorry for all the questions, it just hurts a lot and it's starting to get me down and embarrassed. I don't know what to do about it and wondered if anyone else has had a similar thing before.

Thanks in advance x

    Hey...you should go to your doctor and get checked, hopefully it's something else like an inflamation..but it MIGHT be a wart caused by HPV, don't panic until the doctor gives you the result, might just be an inflamation.
